One of the Philippines' Leading Restaurant Wine Programs
Kong's wine list has been recognized as the Best Wine List in the Philippines 2026 by Star Wine List. Our beverage program is curated specifically to complement high-heat wok searing and wood-charcoal open-fire cuisine.
Wine Philosophy & Curation
At Kong, wine is not an afterthought — it is an integral partner to our open-fire kitchen. We champion wines with electric acidity, mineral tension, and authentic sense of place (terroir) that cut through bold charcoal, smoke, and spice.
Our pricing strategy is designed to encourage discovery: we apply fair, transparent markups so guests can taste rare allocations, benchmark cuvées, and small-batch natural producers at genuine value.
Program Specialisations
Grower Champagne & Burgundy
An extensive selection of artisan grower Champagnes (récoltant-manipulant) focused on single-vineyard expressions, alongside premier and grand cru Burgundies from visionary small-estate vignerons.
Chenin Blanc & Riesling
Deep dives into the Loire Valley (Vouvray, Savennières, Saumur) and premier Rieslings from the Mosel, Rheingau, Clare Valley, and Eden Valley — selected for unmatched versatility with Asian spice.
Australian Artisanal Winemakers
One of the most comprehensive lists of low-intervention, cool-climate Australian producers outside of Australia — spotlighting Yarra Valley, Adelaide Hills, Margaret River, and Mornington Peninsula.
Low-Intervention & Skin Contact
Carefully selected orange wines, ancestral method sparkling (Pet-Nats), and un-fined, un-filtered bottles crafted by low-intervention winemakers worldwide.
